presentation of the CB 1100 EX 2016
with its charisma and nostalgic appeal, the CB 1100 knew right away that it had appeal... and could have been content to be a pretty face. A handful of months after its presentation, and after listening carefully to users, it was split into an EX version. A sort of additional visa in the Vintage passport.
the CB 1100 EX benefits from all the improvements of the classic version, including a 25 mm higher headlight, revised instrumentation with gear indicator and range indicator, and above all a 6-speed gearbox. The sixth is similar to an overdrive, lowering engine speed and reducing fuel consumption.
where it really stands out is in the shoes. And that's what immediately caught your eye: the CB 1100 EX comes with a pair of spoked wheels. A real plus for the look, and so much in demand by users that Honda could hardly do without these elements. Tire dimensions are identical between the two versions of the CB 1100: 110 / 80 - 18 for the front and 140 / 70 - 18 for the rear.
Stand in the back and watch... No, you haven't been drinking! There are two exhausts on the EX. The CB 1100 has doubled its mufflers for even more style. The new seat is thicker and more comfortable. Other differences are less noticeable, such as the passenger handle and side covers. You'll be more attentive to the EX's range. With the 6th gear, fuel consumption can fall to 5.58 l/100 (according to standards that require a good headache to deconstruct). And since the fuel tank is 2.9 liters larger, this roadster should be able to cover about 50 more kilometers with its 17.5-liter belly.
these changes make the CB 1100 even more interesting, but they come at a cost on the EX's scales: 13 kilos. But don't panic, the 9.3 mkg of the finned 4-cylinder engine will have no trouble lifting the 260-kilo machine.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 17 reviews
Like most motorcycles, the weight disappears as soon as you start riding, even with a passenger. The EX's geometry is less restrictive than that of the RS, with higher handlebars, and it proves very comfortable. The adjustable fork is very effective, as are the rear suspension units. Given the current state of the roads, this is very much to be appreciated. The hydraulic clutch is very smooth, the front brake very effective and the rear a little less so, which is to be expected. Let's turn to the engine. It's the masterpiece. Hyper-smooth, it picks up at less than 2000 rpm in 6th gear without ever knocking. Two bikes in one: you can cruise at ease on the torque, or take advantage of good engine extension from 5,000 rpm to 8,000 rpm. And all this with a sound reminiscent of the magnificent 4-cylinder carburettors of yore. No strident injection hiss here. Kudos to Honda's engineers, who have succeeded in matching visuals to sound. There's really no need to change the original mufflers for adaptable ones! Fuel consumption is around 5 liters, or even less, in normal use, which makes for a good range with its almost 17-liter tank. The equipment isn't plentiful, but there's the Honda HISS immobilizer, ABS of course, fuel gauge, A and B trips, clock, warning ... but above all two superb needle meters.
Last but not least, handling and engine feel are identical whether you're riding solo or in a duo. The seat is comfortable for both rider and passenger. Finally, you can fit a top case and/or panniers without breaking the line too much, and thus enjoy a stylish bike, perfect for everyday use and travel, without having to switch to the ubiquitous trail bikes of today. In the end, the only drawback will be the need for chrome maintenance, but in the end, that's part of the fun of this machine, isn't it? PS: there are a few stowage compartments under the seat (a tool pouch, storage for a U and a small tray above the battery for a yellow vest and a few odds and ends). Rating : 5/5 Respond to Arnaud
No, it's not a motorcycle for fooling around (there are plenty of others), given its weight, but a motorcycle for everything else, limited it's true to 185 km/h, just 50 km/h above 130 to lose your license....and who rides at 180 for more than 5mn, where and when and on what road...??? at a time of controls and radars all over France...!!!!!Fun,very vintage,pretty and very torquey (92 Nm)around 6000 trs y a largement assez,une moto basique sans fioriture ,de fabrication made in Japan propre qui fonctionne et freinage à merveille ,se met sur l'angle facilement , puissance linéaire,douce, embrayage onctueux,moteur vraiment connu et au point , un 4 pattes roulant entre 4-5 milles tours en moyenne, pousser à 8 milles en 5ème sans problèmes, la 6ème étant très très long.facile à manier,pour doubler,se promener sur long trajet...que du bonheur.

If you want character and performance, buy an Italian roadster
Honda reliability with a beautiful finish, notably the machined wheel hubs and absolutely superb chrome.

The thing is, the cb 750 was a modern machine back then, with first-rate performance.
Today, the 1100 could certainly produce more wats, but it doesn't. What's more, the machine is clamped to the floor.
What's more, the machine is limited to 180km/h.
WHY?!!!!
Can't it keep up?
If I wanted to go for a ride in Germany, I wouldn't even be able to see what it's capable of.
Sales of the 1100 aren't taking off, and there's no other explanation than the below-average torque, modest power and limited top speed.
The 750 was a benchmark, but the 1100 is a tasteless replica.
In my opinion, they should have released an uncluttered 750, with less punch and weight.
Still, it's a beautiful bike, but riding one that everyone knows has nothing in it is its biggest handicap.
Motorcycles represent freedom, and riders should be free to ride wherever they like (Germany or the racetrack).
By making a motorcycle with modest power and limited top speed, they've taken away the motatd's freedom of choice.
Go and sell a Porsche bridled at 180!
That's the reason for the low number of sales, and not elsewhere.

Easy to handle, maneuverable and comfortable, even for my passenger, it's a real invitation to travel. Admittedly, the lack of protection and integrated luggage limit it in comparison with other machines equipped with these features, but with a chrome package carrier well integrated into the line and soft panniers, it's ready to go on vacation.
Fuel consumption under 6 liters per 100 km, a good 280 km on the freeway, just 2 hours in the saddle, and just over 5 liters on the open road. Smaller tires than the RS make it easier to handle on curvy roads. The engine pulls well, and you can choose to ride like a moped by staying in the higher gears, or play with the gearbox, which is precise and silent. Braking is good, with a clean attack, and this is really a very homogeneous bike, with no faults apart from a noticeable weight when manoeuvring at very low speeds and a lack of storage space
Budget-wise, the sub-100 hp rating saves the rear tire and chain kit from rapid wear, as do the brakes. The finish is excellent, the appearance rather flattering but sober, and the absence of a fairing makes cleaning and routine maintenance easier
A really nice bike, discreet but efficient and very endearing. Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
